It saddens the soul to see it real-time,

Our steady descent into the slime.

Did it start with the escalator ride?

Or was that a result of the outgoing tide?

Whatever the roots, we are where we are…

Outdoing each other to reach the low bar.

100 days of chaos and crisis…

Sometimes it seems like we’re ruled by ISIS.

Trump’s actions are very hard to explain

(Even though they reflect his whole campaign)

So now Republicans don’t even try

And all of their voters want to know why.

I guess we’ll see how this election goes

But if the Liberals win I think it shows

The American Left must up its game

Because as of now it deserves some shame.

Lose the nonsense and pious chew out…

Lead with actual things people care about.

Whatever he says, what does it matter?

President Trump is like the Mad Hatter.

Putin is good, no now Putin is bad!

Tomorrow he’ll have a new nickname for Vlad.

And that, he thinks, is the art of the deal…

Oh yes, this is a very deep pain we feel.

The people were mad about inflation

And voted for Trump to lead the nation.

He told us he’d make everything alright

And that he would do it overnight!

Now he’s given those voters a mystery…

Things look worse today than ever in history.

Imagine succeeding with such a big haul

It has to take brains as well as some gall.

So you’d think there’d be a bit more control

When it came time to go off the dole

And enjoy the spoils that they had won

But instead they were simply one and done.

Norway is one of the richest nations

And clearly sees that its foundations

Are dependent upon healthy research

Not the chaos that makes us all lurch

From thing to thing without any planning

Led by a clown who’s always deadpanning.

I really can’t stand the type of person
Who doesn’t believe that life will worsen
In a world where words don’t really matter…
When nothing is true social fabric will tatter.
And when such a person leads the free world
Then the flag of freedom will soon be furled.

The one little problem with this complaint

Is that their whining and lack of restraint

Is fully misplaced in this situation

Since this specific abomination

Wasn’t called out by some anonymous dude

But by Hegseth’s spokesman in a public feud!

Pope Francis embodied the best of life

With empathy and strength and little strife.

He addressed big issues and held strong views

Standing up to all those who would refuse

To show compassion and to use their skills

To help those in need, not to seek cheap thrills.
